2018 SAFETY, DRIVER-ASSIST & OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
A LEADERSHIP ROLE
At Ford, we’re committed to achieving top-level performance in real-
world safety initiatives and driver-assist measures. Advancing vehicle
safety includes the development of features that further protect occupants
and other vulnerable road users in a variety of situations. We offer a range of
innovative driver-assist technologies that utilize radar, sonar and cameras to
sense and interpret the environment. These systems can also aid with routine
driving tasks to reduce demands on the driver. Many Ford innovations require
demanding internal criteria long before regulatory standards are adopted.
